Weekend planner — music

An annual ratification of the arrival of spring since 1995, the Northampton Community Music Center’s Springfest finds hundreds of NCMC students and faculty taking to the streets of downtown Northampton for a day of public performances and festivities. Running 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, this year’s event will transpire at three locations: in front of the Hampshire County Courthouse; in front of City Hall; and at the Art Kiosk (in front of Urban Outfitters, at 109 Main St.). The day’s program is sponsored by local businesses, and raises funds to support the NCMC’s mission of bringing music to the greater Northampton community.
